The Argentine President, Javier Milei, held on Tuesday the ruling of the Supreme Court that ratified the conviction to former president Cristina Fernández to six years in prison and perpetual disqualification to exercise public office, and said that “justice.”
“Justice. End. PD: The Republic works and all corrupt journalists, accomplices of liar politicians, have been exposed in their operettas about the alleged impunity pact,” the president published in his profile of the social network X, in reference to those who accused him of maintaining a pact with the ex -president.
This Tuesday, the Supreme Court of Argentina rejected the appeal filed by Fernández and left the sentence issued against her in 2022 for irregularities in the granting of road works, so the ex -president could be arrested in the next hours or days to serve the sentence.
The presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni, also referred to the accusations of complicity with Peronism, when writing in his X profile: “Very strange was the ‘impunity pact’.”

The ex -president -who has described the case of ‘Lawfare’, that is, judicial and political persecution -received the news of the decision at the headquarters of the Justicialist Party (PJ), where hundreds of Peronist militants were concentrated from this morning.
The cause for which she was convicted, known as ‘Road’, investigated alleged irregularities in the award of 51 road works in the province of Santa Cruz to companies of businessman Lázaro Báez during the governments of Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007) and Cristina Fernández (2007-2015).
The Court ruling must be sent to the Federal Oral Court 2 for its owner, Judge Jorge Gorini, to execute the sentence issued in 2022, which means that it can be detained in the next few hours or days.
